H.  A.  E.  Jaehne  Collection  of  Chinese  Art 


FOREWORD 

Mr.  Jaehne  resided  in  the  Orient  for  over  seventeen  years,  during 
which  time  this  collection  was  gradually  formed.  It  is  very  difficult 
to  find  and  secure  rare  objects  of  Chinese  art  in  China  itself,  as  the 
pieces  are  usually  heirlooms  that  are  parted  with  only  under  great 
duress  of  circumstances;  for  the  Chinese  well  know  the  artistic  and 
intrinsic  value  of  their  possessions,  and  themselves  pay  enormous  prices 
for  rare  and  choice  examples. 

Here  one  can  trace  the  development  of  the  potter’s  art  in  China 
from  the  slightly  fired,  unglazed  gray  clay  ware,  through  the  glazed 
pottery,  early  stoneware  and  porcellanous  stoneware  on  to  the  tech¬ 
nical  perfection  of  porcelain  in  the  eighteenth  century. 

In  bronze  are  examples  of  the  Chou  and  Han  dynasties  showing 
the  archaic  superseded  by  the  early  naturalistic  treatment,  and  the 
various  phases  through  which  the  artists  in  that  medium  have  passed 
up  to  modern  times. 

The  sculptor  in  stone  is  represented  bv  several  splendid  heads  and 
the  charming  small  and  intimate  Buddhist  sculptures,  used  as  me¬ 
morials  to  the  departed,  and  called  “stele.”  Some  show  a  single  figure 
in  graceful  attitude  and  flowing  robes ;  others,  groups  of  figures  form¬ 
ing  fine  compositions — all  extremely  decorative  and  bearing  witness  to 
the  slow  development  of  the  sculptor’s  knowledge  of  his  medium. 

The  iron  heads  are  exquisite  in  their  refinement  of  line  and  model¬ 
ing,  and  are  the  product  of  a  highly  perfected  technique. 

For  the  collector  of  snuff  bottles  there  are  examples  in  many 
different  materials  that  have  been  cunningly  wrought  into  a  bewilder¬ 
ing  variety  of  forms  and  quaint  conceits. 

The  textiles,  especially  the  Imperial  velvet  throne  carpets,  are  of 
the  greatest  rarity  and  splendor.  Never  before  have  so  many  of  these 
choice  pieces  been  displayed  at  one  time;  and  without  the  overthrow 
of  the  Manchu  Dynasty  their  presence  here  would  have  been  an  im¬ 
possibility. 

Nearly  every  phase  of  Chinese  art  is  here  represented  in  one  form 
or  another,  and  the  whole  forms  a  resume  of  the  life  and  culture  of 
China  that  gives  one  an  insight  into  that  great  nation  which  we  are 
coming  more  and  more  to  understand  and  to  appreciate.

CONDITIONS  OF  SALE 

I.  Rejection  of  bids:  Any  bid  which  is  not  commensurate  with  the  value  of  the 
article  offered  or  whicli  is  merely  a  nominal  or  fractional  advance  may  be  rejected  by  the 
auctioneer  if  in  his  judgment  such  bid  would  be  likely  to  affect  the  sale  injuriously. 

II.  The  buyer:  The  highest  bidder  shall  be  the  buyer,  and  if  any  dispute  arises 
between  two  or  more  bidders,  the  auctioneer  shall  either  decide  the  same  or  put  up  for 
re-sale  the  lot  so  in  dispute. 

III.  Identification  and  part  payment  by  buyer:  The  name  of  the  buyer  of  each  lot 
shall  be  given  immediately  on  the  sale  thereof,  and  when  so  required,  each  buyer  shall 
sign  a  card  giving  the  lot  number,  amount  for  which  sold,  and  his  or  her  name  and 
address. 

Payment  at  the  actual  time  of  the  sale  shall  be  made  of  all  or  such  part  of  the 
purchase  prices  as  may  be  required. 

If  the  two  foregoing  conditions  are  not  complied  with,  the  lot  or  lots  so  purchased 
may  at  the  option  of  the  auctioneer  be  put  up  again  and  re-sold. 

IV.  Risk  after  purchase:  Title  passes  upon  the  fall  of  the  auctioneer’s  hammer, 
and  thereafter  neither  the  consignor  nor  the  Association  is  responsible  for  the  loss  or 
any  damage  to  any  article  occasioned  by  theft,  lire,  breakage  or  any  other  cause. 

V.  Delivery  of  purchases:  Delivery  of  any  purchases  will  be  made  only  upon  pay¬ 
ment  of  the  total  amount  due  for  all  purchases  at  the  sale. 

Deliveries  will  be  made  at  the  place  of  sale  or  at  the  storage  warehouse  to  which 
purchases  may  have  been  removed. 

Deliveries  at  the  American  Art  Galleries  will  be  made  only  between  the  hours  of 
9  A.  M.  and  1  P.  M.  on  sales’  days  and  on  other  days — except  holidays,  when  no  deliveries 
will  be  made — between  the  hours  of  9  A.  M.  and  5  P.  M. 

Deliveries  at  places  of  sale  other  than  the  American  Art  Galleries  will  be  made 
only  during  the  forenoon  following  the  day  of  sale  unless  by  special  notice  or  arrange¬ 
ment  to  the  contrary. 

Deliveries  at  the  storage  warehouse  to  which  goods  may  have  been  sent  will  be  made 
on  any  day  other  than  holidays  between  the  hours  of  9  and  5. 

Deliveries  of  any  purchases  of  small  articles  likely  to  be  lost  or  mislaid  may  be 
made  at  the  discretion  of  the  auctioneer  during  the  session  of  the  sale  at  which  they 
were  sold. 

VI.  Storage  in  default  of  prompt  payment  and  calling  for  goods:  Articles  not  paid 
for  in  full  and  either  not  called  for  by  the  purchaser  or  delivered  upon  his  or  her  order 
by  noon  of  the  day  following  that  of  the  sale  will  be  turned  over  by  the  Association  to 
some  carter  to  be  carried  to  and  stored  in  some  warehouse  until  the  time  of  the  delivery 
therefrom  to  the  purchaser,  and  the  cost  of  such  cartage  and  storage  will  be  charged 
against  the  purchaser  and  the  risk  of  loss  or  damage  occasioned  by  such  removal  or 
storage  will  be  upon  the  purchaser. 

NOTE:  The  Limited  space  of  the  Delivery  Rooms  of  the  Association 
makes  the  above  requirements  necessary,  and  it  is  not  alone  for  the 
benefit  of  the  Association,  but  also  for  that  of  its  patrons,  whose  goods 
otherwise  would  have  to  be  so  crowded  as  to  be  subject  to  damage 
and  loss. 

VII.  Shipping:  Shipping,  boxing  or  wrapping  of  purchases  is  a  business  in  which 
the  Association  is  in  no  wise  engaged,  and  will  not  be  performed  by  the  Association 
for  purchasers.  The  Association  will,  however,  afford  to  purchasers  every  facility  for 
employing  at  current  and  reasonable  rates  carriers  and  packers;  doing  so,  however, 
without  any  assumption  of  responsibility  on  its  part  for  the  acts  and  charges  of  the 
parties  engaged  for  such  service. 

VIII.  Guaranty-:  The  Association  exercises  great  care  to  catalogue  every  lot  cor¬ 
rectly  and  endeavors  therein  and  also  at  the  actual  time  of  sale  to  point  out  any  error, 
defect  or  imperfection,  but  guaranty  is  not  made  either  by  the  owner  or  the  Association 
of  the  correctness  of  the  description,  genuineness,  authenticity  or  condition  of  any  lot 
and  no  sale  will  be  set  aside  on  account  of  any  incorrectness,  error  of  cataloguing  or 
imperfection  not  noted  or  pointed  out.  Every  lot  is  sold  “as  is”  and  without  recourse. 

Every  lot  is  on  public  exhibition  one  or  more  days  prior  to  its  sale,  and  the 
Association  will  give  consideration  to  the  opinion  of  any  trustworthy  expert  to  the 
effect  that  any  lot  has  been  incorrectly  catalogued  and  in  its  judgment  may  thereafter 
sell  the  lot  as  catalogued  or  make  mention  of  the  opinion  of  such  expert,  who  thereby 

will  become  responsible  for  such  damage  as  might  result  were  his  opinion  without 

foundation. 

IX.  Buying  on  order:  Buying  or  bidding  by  the  Association  for  responsible 
parties  on  orders  transmitted  to  it  by  mail,  telegraph  or  telephone  will  be  faithfully 
attended  to  without  charge  or  commission.  Any  purchases  so  made  will  be  subject  to 
the  foregoing  conditions  of  sale  except  that,  in  the  event  of  a  purchase  of  a  lot  of  one 
or  more  books  by  or  for  a  purchaser  who  has  not  through  himself  or  his  agent  been 
present  at  the  exhibition  or  sale,  the  Association  will  permit  such  lot  to  be  returned  within 
ten  days  from  the  date  of  sale  and  the  purchase  money  will  be  refunded  if  the  lot 
in  any  manner  differs  from  its  catalogue  description. 

Orders  for  execution  by  the  Association  should  be  written  and  given  with  such 

plainness  as  to  leave  no  room  for  misunderstanding.  Not  only  should  the  lot  number 

be  given,  but  also  the  title,  and  bids  should  be  stated  to  be  so  much  for  the  lot.  and 
when  the  lot  consists  of  one  or  more  volumes  of  books  or  objects  of  art.  the  bid  per 
volume  or  piece  should  also  be  stated.  If  the  one  transmitting  the  order  is  unknown  to  the 
Association,  a  deposit  should  be  sent  or  references  submitted.  Shipping  directions  should 
also  be  given. 

Priced  Catalogues:  Priced  copies  of  the  catalogue  or  any  session  thereof,  will  be 
furnished  by  the  Association  at  charges  commensurate  with  the  duties  involved  in  copying 
the  necessary  information  from  the  records  of  the  Association.
